Likewise, black diasporic film tends to focus on the complexities of transnational identity, which oscillates between similarity and difference and resists easy categorization. In Contact Zones author Sheila J. Petty addresses a range of filmmakers, theorists, and issues in black diasporic cinema, highlighting their ongoing influences on contemporary artistic and theoretical discourses.Petty examines both Anglophone and Francophone films and theorists, divided according to this volume's three thematic sections-Slavery, Migration and Exile, and Beyond Borders. The feature films and documentaries considered-which include Sankofa, Daughters of the Dust, The Man by the Shore, and Rude, among others-represent a wide range of cultures and topics. Through close textual analysis that incorporates the work of well-known diasporic thinkers like W. E. B. DuBois, Aime? Ce?saire, and Frantz Fanon along with contemporary notables such as Molefi Kete Asante, bell hooks, Clenora Hudson-Weems, Rene? Depestre, Paul Gilroy, and Rinaldo Walcott, Petty details the unique ways in which black diasporic films create meaning.By exploring a variety of African American, Caribbean, Black British, and African Canadian perspectives, Contact Zones provides a detailed survey of the diversity and vitality of black diasporic contributions to cinema and theory. This volume will be a welcome addition to the libraries of scholars and students of film studies and Africana studies. 410 0$aContemporary Approaches to Film and Media Series 606 $aBlack people in motion pictures 606 $aAfrican Americans in motion pictures 606 $aSlavery in motion pictures 615 0$aBlack people in motion pictures. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in motion pictures. 615 0$aSlavery in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43652996 700 $aPetty$b Sheila$01655064 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968766703321 996 $aContact zones$94358002 997 $aUNINA
